(and this would take some ROM burning, since a nice HP sales rep said that WinCE is in ROM) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Roy Lovejoy PHONE: 360.308.9831 Pixel PoohBah FAX: 360.308.9832 Adept Solutions 7314 Creekwood PL NE Bremerton WA 98311 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
